It's Bittersweet (This Thing Called Love) by mindlessramblings

Summary
I love you.
Three simple words. Eight letters. And yet, for Draco, they hurt more than any curse.
In the hush before dawn, Draco clings to the fleeting warmth of Harry’s touch, knowing that time is slipping through his fingers. Outside, war looms on the horizon, threatening to shatter everything they’ve built in secret.
But love isn’t easily silenced. And some hearts refuse to let go.

Some Potions Take Time (Some Hearts Do Too) by mindlessramblings

Summary
Remus wasn’t sure when he’d started anticipating those moments - the rare flickers of approval and kindness veiled in thorns. But somehow, they had begun to matter.
Remus swallowed, unsure whether the tightness in his chest was pride or discomfort. “I suppose I should thank you,” he said, voice low. “Though it feels undeserved.”
“If you are thanking me,” Snape murmured, “do it properly. Don’t mumble like you’ve been forced at wandpoint.”
In their final year at Hogwarts, Severus Snape and Remus Lupin are forced to work together. With a history steeped in mistrust and silence, the two boys are forced into close quarters.
But in a world where war looms and loyalties fracture, love is a dangerous potion. And for Severus and Remus, the question becomes: can something so delicate survive the fire?
(A companion piece to When Daylight Dies, but can be read as a standalone).

Summary
The one-shot that It's Bittersweet (This Thing Called Love) is based on.
Who knew that those eight little letters, forming three innocent words, could make someone hurt so much?
It was approaching fast… The dawn before the new day and this precious time alone with his Harry was trickling by quicker than he could blink.
And then those dreaded words fell from Harry's beautiful lips. "I think it's time that we left."

Summary
Steve doesn’t think anything of it, the first time. He’s sitting in the boathouse with Munson, waiting for something to happen. He refuses to think about it as hanging out or anything. It’s not like they really know each other.

Or, the one where Eddie won't stop saying "as you wish". It doesn't make things any easier for Steve to figure out.
